So, one last newsy thing for today. Apparently, the latest version of XNA Game Studio has been released (so sayeth the queen spider) and is available for download over here. It has a bunch of awesome new features attached to it including avatar support, video playback and Xbox LIVE party support. Totally sweet if you’re into that sort of thing.
What’s more important, however, is the fact that anybody entering Dream-Build-Play ought to grab the update as soon as possible, as only the latest version of Game Studio is supported for competition entry. Fear not, developers: upgrading your existing 3.0 projects should prove to be a trivial task, and there will be cake and celebrations for all at the end of the day.
Oh, and a bonus little factoid: Xbox Live Community Games is also going to be rebranded as Xbox Live Indie Games. There’s such a big hooplah over this that nobody actually seems to care about discussing the actual Game Studio update. Guess I’m missing something here.
